The verdict
Fit
Raglan sleeves suggest generous mobility across the shoulders. Chore coats from this label typically cut slightly generous through the body; size to your normal jacket size unless you prefer layering room.
Quality
Drake's constructs deliberately for longevity—typical of the house is careful seam work and material choices. Cotton-linen blends soften with wear and develop character.
Is the price fair?
At GBP 695 (~£700), this sits at Drake's standard jacket price. For a luxury UK house known for quiet, lasting pieces rather than trend-following, this is fair, though it's a premium tier purchase.
Best for
A person who wears chore coats as proper garments (not costume) and values the seasonal transition a cotton-linen blend offers between spring and autumn.
Care
Wash cool and dry flat or on a line; the linen content will wrinkle—that's part of the appeal and requires acceptance.
What owners report about Drake's jackets & outerwear
Owners and menswear reviewers treat Drake's jackets — the five-pocket chore jackets and Games blazers especially — as well-made, fabric-led pieces, and an editorial comparison of luxury chore coats found the label's range of cloths, sizes and availability consistently stronger than its peers, with fabric-specific details like snap cuffs on suede versions and rivet buttons on denim ones. The cut runs relaxed by design: forum owners describe Games blazers as slouchy and slightly oversized, with sleeves that frequently need shortening. Pricing draws pushback — commenters on a corduroy Games blazer review argued the fit would have to be perfect to justify the outlay on a casual jacket.
- Strengths
- Reviewers credit the line's breadth of fabrics and its relaxed casual-tailoring cut, executed with detailing matched to each cloth.
- Watch out for
- Owners report erratic sizing between styles, sleeves that run long, and prices that even fans say are hard to justify.
- Sizing
- Fit is intentionally relaxed and inconsistent across styles — one owner fit a 38 Games blazer but needed a 40 in the suede chore jacket — so check each style's own measurements before buying.
